In Episode 238 of LawPod UK, Lucy McCann is joined by Jasper Gold and Paula Kelly of 1 Crown Office Row to explore the concept of consent.
The discussion ranges from philosophical theories of consent to informed consent in medical law after Montgomery, the limits of consent to harm in criminal law, and the role of deception in sexual offences. Along the way, the episode considers broader questions of autonomy, paternalism, and the different functions consent performs across modern law.
